Supplementary explanation

• Multi-gradation printing can be used in the standard mode but not in the page mode.
• The read quality of a barcode or 2D symbol printed as a multi-gradation raster image is not guaranteed. Use two-scale printing.
• To print a raster image at a high speed, set the align attribute to left and the width attribute value to a multiple of 8 which does not exceed the sheet width of the printer.
• In the page mode, because image data is printed at the current print position with the lower-left dot of the image data as the reference point, the print position does not move.
• In the page mode, adjust the print position so that the image data fits within the print area.
• If a raster image is printed in multi-gradation, it will be printed intermittently due to an increased data quantity and white lines may appear in the printed image.
• The width and height attributes are mandatory.
• If the color and mode attributes are omitted, the following values are set:
  • color: color_1
  • mode: mono
• Colors assigned to the first to fourth colors depend on the printer model.
• The align attribute does not work in the page mode.
• Specify the align attribute at the "beginning of the line.”
• The align attribute setting in the <image> element also applies to the align attribute in the <text>, <logo>, <barcode>, and <symbol> elements.
• Use the ePOS-Print XML generation tool or your own application to create raster image data.
  Pay attention to the following when using your own application to create raster image data:
  • For two-scale printing: Set the image width to a multiple of 8 or set missing bits to 0.
  • For 16-scale printing: Set the image width to a multiple of 2 or set missing bits to 0.

• The composition of the image data in raster format is as follows.

When the image is in two colors (black and white)

White: 0, Black: 1

Example:

0xA3 0x77 0x18

o3cy

<image width="8" height="3" color="color_1" mode="mono">o3cY</image>

When the image is in multiple tones (16 shades)

White: 15 or larger, Black: 0

Example:

0xFC 0x84 0x0F 0xC8 0x40 0xFC 0x84 0x0F 0xC8 0x40 0xFC 0x84
